Politics Give Me a Headache
Last night Terence dragged me away from reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to watch the presidential debate. Terence is a rabid opponent of Obama, and while he doesn't exactly drool over McCain, he still wanted to see him trounce Obama in the debate.
Ugh, if I already wasn't so unenthusiastic about this presidential election, it may have well put me into a voluntary coma, begging to be woken up when it was all over.
Obama's comments on anything foreign policy-related made me shake my head in despair. It sounded ridiculous that he should spout about how we need to "see around the corner" with Russia, and yet mention nothing about Russia's shenanigans in South America. Right in our own backyard, and I wonder if Obama has even any idea? So much for being able to anticipate what Russia's going to do in the future.
McCain's ludicrous attempt at fixing health care also made me sick. Just so you all know, our family would take a massive tax hit under his proposed plan, because apparently we are one of those lucky 5% of Americans who have a golden insurance policy (though it doesn't cover hair transplants.) In fact, it's one of the only things that makes working as a cop economically feasible. Arizona provides one stellar insurance program for us. So, sure McCain, go ahead and shoot a middle-class family in your own state. That will get my vote!
Yuck. I have to keep reminding myself that I have never been enthusiastic about a presidential candidate before, so why should it change this year? And yet the world has never ended before, and I don't think it will this time either. Still, I wish it was all over and done with...only another month. Thank goodness for that!
